Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, the middle part of your eye. One of the most frustrating aspects of getting a diagnosis of uveitis (iritis, pars planitis, chorioretinitis, panuveitis) is realizing how little information is available about the disease. When you have finished reading this book, you will have comprehensive information about uveitis. You’ll understand what causes it, what the symptoms are, and how it is treated. You’ll also know what other diseases are linked to uveitis, and get some specific information about how you can modify your diet to help manage your symptoms. I was diagnosed with uveitis in 1994. That was in the days before the internet was widely used, and finding information about uveitis was challenging, if not impossible. After I was diagnosed, I decided to start the Iritis Organization, an online community that provides information and support to other people who have uveitis and iritis. The reason I decided to write this book was to take the information that is available on my website and bring it all together into a single, easy-to-read book.

I was finally diagnosed with Uveitis last fall after battling it for almost two years. Once it had a name, I could finally learn what it was, how to battle it and how to live with it. This book took me a long way toward accomplishing those things. My next stop is your website, where I hope to find more support in the community you created there. THANK YOU.

This clear, concise, accessible book is an excellent introduction to the little-known eye condition uveitis/iritis. It provides a clear explanation of the disease, and covers topics such as the importance of early and correct diagnosis; diseases that may be associated with the condition (including autoimmune, inflammatory, viral, and bacterial diseases); tests and diagnostic tools; treatments; and the role of dietary support. Kevin also points readers to another excellent resource, his website Iritis.org, which is a goldmine of information and support for uveitis/iritis sufferers.This book would be particularly helpful for anyone newly diagnosed with the disease, as well as their carers and loved ones. I certainly wish such a guide had been available when I was initially diagnosed with iritis (over 30 years ago). Highly recommended.

Thanks for the information. I've had recurring uveitis/iritis for over 20 years. I haven't gotten much information from my doctors, mainly because they honestly have no idea why I get it. This book provides a clear description even though there are still not clear answers yet. Hoping some of the dietary suggestions will be helpful.

This book offers a easy to read overview of types of Uveitis and the treatments available. It also completely validates the difficulty of diagnosing and obscurity of information. You have done a remarkable job of simply explaining what is happening in the eye. Thank you!
